Great game, fun idea, easy to understand, good for relaxing

Sept. 2024

One of the most brutally realistic depictions of American economics. This is a game about building an ugly, unprofitable strip-mall in the middle of nowhere. If you play on easy it's your standard simulation game affair, but that all changes when you set the game to hard mode. Just getting off the ground goes through all of your starting cash, and the amount of money you make in return is too small to expand with. When the banks are finally willing to give you a loan it's barely enough but it also eats into your margins, meaning when you do grow it's never very quickly. Even after establishing yourself your margins stay low, meaning that a measly $1 raise in minimum wage risks your entire business going under. Also your employees get paid more the longer their shifts are, but the UI for balancing hours is so asinine that you can't be bothered a lot of the time, meaning some of your employees work 4 hour shifts while others work 12 hours. You just have to make sure to over-staff during holidays because that's your only window to make a decent return on investment. And you can try all you want to make something that looks nice. You can give people sidewalks, carpet the floors of your stores, add trees and benches, but in the end it's all meaningless - your mall will never be pretty, ever. Thankfully the customers don't care, they all have phones they can play on, so screw it. To be honest, this game kind-of sucks, but I also feel that's what makes it pretty good at the same time. Games like Cities Skylines are naive in comparison, because those games trick you into thinking you can throw up something nice and make a hefty profit in return, but unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way.

This game isn't abandoned. It's finished. Are there still things that could be added or fixed? Sure, but I can only think of one bug, and it's far from game breaking. Some more QoL features would be nice, but you know what? The devs can't afford to work on this game forever. Probably every game on Steam still has at least a few bugs and some additions that would be nice to have, but that's not the way life works. Let's say you are known as a handy person in your neighborhood, and one of your neighbors says he'll pay you $500 to build a permanent lemonade stand at the corner of his lot. At that price, the money is going to be tight, but you agree because you could use all the money you can get and you enjoy building things. And if you do a great job, maybe some other people in the neighborhood will want you to build things for them. When you are done with your work, you are pretty pleased with it, but the neighbor gives you a list of things that are wrong. Two of the shelves aren't completely level and the door to the stock closet was supposed to swing closed on its own and it doesn't. You apologize and fix those problems. It takes more time and money, and you've made almost nothing from the job. Then the neighbor says he'd like a small conveyor belt coming from the closet to the counter. He's not willing to pay for it, and says you should have done it that way to begin with. You are trying your best, and you want him to be happy with your work, so you put in a small conveyor belt. You've now lost money on the job, but at least you did great work and maybe someone else will hire you for something bigger. The next day your neighbor presents you with a list of things he'd like modified. You take the list but tell him you don't think you can complete it. He accuses you of abandoning your job. He walks all over the neighborhood and tells everyone that you took his money and then abandoned the lemonade stand before it was finished. Like it or not, we're the neighbor here. We demand the world from small indie developers, but they have to deal with reality. They aren't some megacorp with endless money. They are scraping by trying to make a living. If a game isn't selling anymore, and they have most of the money they are ever going to get from it, they have to stop working on the game after a reasonable amount of time. It can't become an endless time sink and money pit. They've done the best they could. Is it perfect? Nothing ever is. But expecting them to continue working forever is unrealistic. So just enjoy this game for what it is. I'm finding it very fun, and I personally haven't experienced "the bug" (if you do, you just have to fire your builders and hire new ones). There won't be any new updates. That's simply the way it has to be.
